Summary:

The city of Goodman, Mississippi has only one elementary school, Goodman Pickens Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school is part of the Holmes County Consolidated School District, which is ranked 113th out of 130 districts in the state and has an overall rating of 1 out of 5 stars.

Goodman Pickens Elementary School has consistently performed poorly, ranking in the bottom quarter of Mississippi elementary schools over the past 3 school years. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade proficiency rates were 30% in ELA and 33.3% in Math, compared to state averages of 49.4% and 53.3%, respectively. Additionally, the school's 5th grade science proficiency rate of 50% in 2024-2025 is well below the state average of 66.3%.

The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, at 23.9% in the 2022-2023 school year. However, the school does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.7 to 1, suggesting that students may receive more individualized attention. Despite these smaller class sizes, the school's academic performance remains significantly below both the district and state averages, indicating that the educational opportunities available to students in the Goodman, Mississippi area are in need of significant improvement.
